Hello guys! hope you can help me out. I was just testing compression, carb cleaning and cganging plugs when right at the end putting new plugs in one of the holes stripped out. the funny thing is the thread came out like a spring and inside that was what looked like stripped threads. is there a product that the last owner of this outboard used when he stripped the thread(or the owner before that). Ive only had this motor since last summer and bought it used from a marina. im thinking someone either used some jb weld on the plug to make new threads or there is a product they used. can someone tell me what this is and where to get another or what the part is to replace to have three new holes on the one side(cylinder cover or something). if there is a thread repair thingy like what might have come out of there id rather use that cuz its probably cheap and i can get it quick, plus the compression was good. if not where can i get the whole cover and gasket. also the side of one cylinder and piston are shiny silver clean and it looks like steam comes out of my exhaust so maybe a water leak into cylinder? would the gasket for a new cylinder cover also be the gasket that would let water in? Thanxs so much for any help and all the info ive read here so far!!!!!!!! Erik
